Welcome

Thank you for purchasing a QLogic BR-800 Series Fibre Channel Host Bus

Adapter. These adapters provide reliable, high-performance host connectivity for

mission-critical Storage Area Network (SAN) environments. Available models are

listed in the following table.

QLogic BR-800 Series Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters allow a host system to

connect to a Fibre Channel SAN in a switched-fabric or point-to-point topology.

The combined high performance and proven reliability of a single-ASIC design

makes these HBAs ideal for connecting hosts to SAN fabrics based on Brocade

Fabric OS®(FOS) or Brocade M-Enterprise OS (M-EOS).

Installation Instructions

Installing a QLogic BR-800 Series Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter consists of the

following tasks:

“Verifying Installation Requirements” on page 1

“Verifying Items for Installation” on page 1

“Preparing the Host System” on page 2

“ESD Precautions” on page 2

“Installing Hardware” on page 3

“Installing Software” on page 5

Verifying Installation Requirements

Before you begin, make sure that your server (host) system meets hardware and

software compatibility requirements outlined in the BR-Series Adapters

Installation Guide and the system is fully operational.

Verifying Items for Installation

Have the following items on hand for installation:

Fully functional host

Phillips #1 screwdriver

Adapter with appropriate mounting bracket attached

Multimode optical cable with LC duplex connectors to connect the HBA to

the fabric.

NOTE

The adapter ships with two different bracket sizes. If the bracket that

you require is not already attached to the adapter, instructions are

included in this guide to attach it.

BR-815, BR-825 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Quick Start Guide

Preparing the Host System

2 BR0054507-00 B

Preparing the Host System

1. Make a backup of the system data.

2. Power down the host system. Unplug all power cords and network cables.

3. Remove all covers necessary to access the PCIe®slot in which you want to

install the adapter. Refer to your system documentation to locate PCIe slots

and cover removal procedures.

4. Remove the blank bracket panel that covers the PCIe slot in which you want

to install the adapter. If the panel is secured with a screw, remove the screw

and save it for securing the adapter bracket panel into the slot.

ESD Precautions

When handling the adapter, use correct electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures:

Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if host is plugged

in) or a bench ground.

Store the adapter in anti-static packaging.

NOTE

Install adapters in PCI-Express slots that use an x8 lane transfer

interface or greater for best performance. You cannot install adapters

into PCI™ or PCI-X™ slots.

Installing Hardware

3 BR0054507-00 B

Installing Hardware

To Install the adapter hardware into your host system:

1. If fiber optic SFP transceivers are installed in

the adapter, remove them if clearances

inside your system case prohibit installation

with them installed.

a. Pull out the protective rubber plug from

the SFP connector.

b. Using your thumb and forefinger,

unlatch the bail from the side of the

fiber optic cable connector and pull the

SFP straight out of the receiver. Arrows

stamped on the bail mark the location

where you unlatch it.

2. The adapter ships with one bracket installed

and another size bracket in the shipping container. If the installed bracket

works as is, go on to Step 3.

If your system chassis requires a different bracket (low-profile or standard)

to secure the adapter in the slot, perform the following steps to replace the

bracket. Note that you must remove SFPs first to remove this bracket (refer

to Step 1).

a. Remove the two screws attaching the

bracket to the adapter, and pull off the

bracket.

b. Carefully guide the new mounting

bracket onto the adapter, making sure

the bracket mounting tabs align with the

holes in the adapter.

c. Replace and tighten the two screws.

d. Store the mounting bracket that you

removed for future use.

The illustration shows the standard bracket.

3. Insert the adapter into the desired empty PCIe bus slot. Press firmly until the

adapter is seated.

4. Secure the adapter’s mounting bracket to the case using the method

required for your case. In some systems, the bracket may be secured to the

case with a screw.

5. Replace the system’s case or covers and tighten all screws.
